Natal - Cariri Package - 3days/2nights
|
|
A very interesting programme leaving from Natal, to the “Cariri Paraibano”, one of
the most unique landscapes where enormous boulders perch on rounded huge
granite hills. The site shows signs of human occupation since the Pleistocene era.
The area was also home to the megafauna of this time: mastodons, giant sloths and
sabre-toothed tigers. This is a fantastic and mystical experience for those who have
interest in geology, paleontology and adventure.
